Cao Xiang was telling the truth, but it was not entirely true.
At least, Lu Ye knew that if the spirit treasures recovered by the Chamber of Commerce could not be sold, they would definitely be melted to extract useful materials, so it was impossible to lose money. At most, it was a situation of neither loss nor profit.
After bargaining with Cao Xiang for a while, he finally got an extra five hundred jades.
After paying the two thousand jades for the bait pills, Lu Ye went straight to the stall selling the Dragon Breath Crystals.
It was still the stall owner. Seeing that Lu Ye came back to buy the Dragon Breath Crystals so soon, he was naturally happy. According to the previous price, Lu Ye bought fifteen Dragon Breath Crystals.
After leaving the stall, Lu Ye only had two hundred jades left!
But since he had bought what he needed, it was time to show off his skills.
However, Lu Ye had to think carefully about how to do it without giving himself away.
While urging the power of the talent tree to devour the Dragon Breath Crystals, he flew in the direction of the Fishing Island.
There was a reason why the fishermen were concentrated on the Fishing Island and its surrounding areas. White Spirits were the most abundant on the Fishing Island and its surrounding areas. They were less distributed in other areas.
In the past, there were anglers who did not believe it and went to other places to try, but the result was that not only did they not gain anything, but even the fish did not take the bait.
Over time, any angler with a little bit of experience would not go to other places to do useless work, which led to the situation where the anglers gathered around the Fishing Island.
Pu Ke was the one who told Lu Ye about this. Otherwise, Lu Ye wouldn't have known about it. Fortunately, Pu Ke mentioned it. Otherwise, Lu Ye would have gone fishing in a deserted place. In his plan, it was best not to let anyone see what he was about to do.
Now he had no choice but to go to the Fishing Island.
After rushing all the way, nearly two days later, he returned to the Fishing Island.
Lu Ye was not going to stay with Pu Ke anymore. In his previous observation, all the anglers here silently followed the hidden rule of staying a thousand feet away from others. He had no fishing experience before, and Pu Ke kindly guided him, so he deliberately let him stay a hundred feet away from him. Now that he had some experience, it was not appropriate to squeeze with others!
When he was looking around, trying to find a suitable place, Pu Ke's voice sounded in his ears, "Brother Taibai, go over there!"
He turned his head and looked in Pu Ke's direction, only to see him pointing in a direction.
"Four hours ago, someone left due to some matters. There should be a seat over there!" Pu Ke explained.
Lu Ye thanked him and flew in that direction. After a while, he found a suitable spot. He happily went forward, steadied himself, took out his fishing gear, hung the bait, and threw the rod into the water.
After a while, he sensed movement on the fishing line. Lu Ye tried to raise the rod, but as soon as there was movement, the baited fish were frightened away. Naturally, he caught nothing.
Several times, the situation was exactly the same as a few days ago. Either he didn't catch the fish, or he let the fish escape in the process.
The more he fished, the more Lu Ye felt the difficulty of catching a Whitey.
This was especially true when it came to fishing after catching the fish. That was truly a battle of wits and courage. Once the fish exerted force, the cultivator would have to release the force. Otherwise, the fishing line would likely break. When the fish did not exert force, the cultivator would have to exert force. Moreover, they would have to control their strength well.
Only by letting the fish slip out of the water little by little could they have a chance to catch the fish.
The best Lu Ye could do now was to try his best to ensure that the fishing line would not break, but he was undoubtedly still very inexperienced in fishing. This required a long time of immersion in the water to become proficient.
A few hours later, a bait pill was consumed. Lu Ye felt that it was about time to carry out his plan.
He didn't spend so many spirit jades just to be a fisherman who depended on his luck. If that was the case, there was no need for him to work so hard.
Dozens of miles away, on an island reef, a middle-aged man with a cold face who had been sitting cross-legged here looked around. After confirming that no one was watching him, he plunged into the sea.
The middle-aged man was naturally Lu Ye, and it was his original body!
The one who went to the fishing island was his clone.
His face was different because he had activated the Thousand-faced Spirit Tattoo.
The reason for this arrangement was naturally because once he entered the sea, the consumption of the Talent Tree's fuel would be huge. His clone couldn't last for too long. Only his original body could persist in the sea.
He dove all the way to the bottom of the sea to ensure that no traces could be seen from the surface of the sea. Only then did he rush to the location of his clone.
The original body and the clone could sense each other, so the original body easily came to the bottom of the sea in front of the clone and found the fishing line and bait.
He originally planned to activate the concealment spirit tattoo to hide himself, so that it would be more convenient for him to do things, but under the interference of the surrounding seawater energy madly eroding his body, he couldn't construct the spirit tattoo on the surface of his body at all.
He had no choice but to stand still. A foot in front of him was the hook with the bait pill.
I'm a piece of wood!
Before he came, there were a few white spirits swimming around this bait pill. They would take a bite of the bait pill from time to time, but when he came, these white spirits were scared away.
As he stood there quietly, more Whitey Spirits were slowly attracted by the aura of the Bait Pill and gathered over. Lu Ye observed with rapt attention. He could clearly see how these fellows ate the bait and also clearly see the appearance of these Whitey Spirits.
The head of the white spirit he obtained before was smashed by his punch, so he really didn't know what it looked like.
At this moment, this white spirit's head was long and pointed, which caused its mouth to be like an arrow. Moreover, there seemed to be fine fangs in its mouth, which allowed them to quickly take a bite of the bait pill when it passed by.
Lu Ye held his breath and waited for a good opportunity.
Until a certain moment, a white spirit stopped in front of the bait pill and opened its sharp mouth. It looked like it was going to swallow the bait pill in one bite.
Lu Ye's hand was as fast as lightning. He stuck out two fingers and clamped the fish's body.
The white spirit struggled crazily, and the violent movement scared the other white spirits away. However, since it was clamped by Lu Ye, how could he let it break free so easily?
He stretched out his other hand and grabbed it tightly.
Success!
This white spirit was bigger than the one whose head he had smashed. According to the information provided by Qiu Pingyang, this thing should be easily sold for 5,000 spirit jades!
The initial investment would basically be earned back in an instant.
However, there were two choices in front of Lu Ye. One was to put this white spirit away and find a buyer to sell it. He didn't have to worry about selling this thing. Whether it was the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce, other shops, or even the open market, as long as he took it out, people would definitely buy it. Moreover, there wouldn't be a situation where the price would be lowered because this thing was basically in a state where the demand couldn't meet the demand.
If Lu Ye was only doing a one-off business, this choice would undoubtedly be more convenient and wouldn't need to think too much.
However, he thought that there would be more white spirits in the future. If someone paid attention to him, he wouldn't be able to explain the origin of the white spirit.
He couldn't tell people that he went into the sea to catch it …
Therefore, he still needed a pretense!
Lu Ye buying fishing equipment and fishing here was just a pretense.
The white spirit in his hand struggled fiercely. Lu Ye raised his hand, bent his middle finger, and gently flicked the fish's head, flicked, and flicked again …
He flicked until the white spirit stopped struggling so fiercely. Only then did he remove the bait pill from his hook and hook it up.
On the shore, the clone began to raise the fishing line. The fishing line was taut, and one could clearly feel a fish struggling. The anglers on the left and right, and even the cultivators nearby, all gathered their gazes.
However, everyone was just looking. Because there were so many people fishing together on Fishing Island, the frequency of catching a fish was still very high. However, catching a fish alone was useless. The key was to get the fish out.
Basically, no one would succeed in catching a fish out of hundreds of times.
Therefore, everyone was used to it.
However, as time passed, a scene that surprised everyone appeared. The fish on Lu Ye's side didn't leave the hook until a certain moment, when a smear of white appeared in the water. Then, someone whispered, "It's out of the water, it's out of the water!"
The clone had already prepared the net. Almost at the same time that the smear of white appeared, he quickly scooped it up.
The weight in his hand sank. When he pulled back the net, there was a fresh white spirit in the net!
Lu Ye's expression was calm. He stepped forward and removed the hook from the white spirit's mouth.
Seven or eight silhouettes had already arrived in a flash and surrounded him. They were the cultivators who had been looking around earlier.
Seeing this situation, Lu Ye didn't panic. This was because when he chatted with Pu Ke before, he knew some of the situation here.
The cultivators who were looking around on Fishing Island weren't just those who were bored and wanted to enter this field. There were also some people who came from big factions and were specifically in charge of buying fresh white spirits.
The people who had gathered around were undoubtedly the representatives of the various major forces in charge of this matter.
One of the old men cupped his fists at Lu Ye and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, you look unfamiliar. Are you new here?"
Lu Ye nodded. This matter couldn't be hidden from these people who were here all year round. When Lu Ye came here before, he met a few of them.
"Is this fish for sale?" the old man asked again.
"Yes!"
The old man nodded and didn't say more. He looked at the white spirit in Lu Ye's hand and said, "I'll pay 4,600 jade for this fish. What do you think?"
"That's not right!" Lu Ye looked at the others. This old man obviously thought that he was a newcomer and was bullying him for not knowing the rules. Moreover, 4,600 jade was indeed a little too little.
The old man smiled. "So someone has taught you. In that case, let's do it according to the rules."
The so-called rules were the on-site auction. These big factions were in charge of buying fresh white spirits here. Naturally, they weren't friendly. Every time a white spirit was caught and was willing to be sold, they would bid for it. The highest bidder would get it.
